Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 179: A New Labyrinth (21)

I told him I had cornered him that far because of it... and he got away with it.

Now, the next time you fight Xanadu, you will definitely be a stronger enemy than you are today.

"Mr. Mine! Not good!!!!

Aisha shouts out to me, distracted by the fact that I let Xanadu and Roselier get away. Seems like you're in a hurry for a long time... Are you talking about Taylor? Sure, not good!

Running away in a hurry, I saw more and more black and cloudy blood pouring out of Taylor's torso, which was falling.... this black and cloudy... is it poison!?

"Originally, I ate such an attack where I was weak..."

"Welcome, I can't take this anymore... why don't you take Sukiru now"

That's what Ku proposes. Certainly no more magic can make it with so many serious injuries, and even if the wound heals, there is no way to treat the poison. Same as when I was in Cappole.

If it [plays], then maybe it can be cured, but I don't have that much brother-in-law for this guy, and I don't want to bother making the possibility that [cut-and-paste] secrets will fall apart.

So I... even if they say it's cold, I'm not going to use [playback] on Taylor on this occasion.

If you use the [Dead Puppet] you just took from Roselier, you will probably be able to gain your tentative first life and resurrect it as a dead spirit. But I don't want to do this to me after I become a Necromancer, and that won't end up saying I'm going to help Taylor.

... Soon, the lights of Taylor's life will go out. That's for sure.

I remember hesitating to take my skills away from Taylor in that state, and maybe that's the case if they say it's a cold response... Maybe it makes sense to [cut] your skills, as Khu says.

Name: Taylor

LV: 34

Race: Hume

Gender: Male

Age: 39

Occupation: Veterinarian

[Skills]

Tame Large

[]/(n, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (

One-handed axe/pole

In the meantime, [cut]... all the way.

Uh-huh, [Tame Greater] I wonder if the Spirit could also Tame thanks to this.

Speaking of which, what happened to the Dark Spirit who was Taylor's servant (Tame)?

... Either way, I can't see the Spirit of Darkness, so can I confirm it?

Is that it? You have some unusual skills. What is [nurse]?

[Nursing]: See through hidden objects.

Ha??... What the hell is a hidden thing?

... Oh, hey, is it like a hidden door in a gargoyle room!?

So maybe Tamer's Ring didn't stumble upon that door, but maybe he did.

Speaking of which, does that mean “hidden objects”?

Let's try it again.

"............................................................................................................................................................................................."

Weak, it was Taylor asking for help, but eventually... I couldn't hear that appeal either.

Yes, Taylor's life light just went out.

He was a nasty guy, and he was a lousy guy... but let's at least pray for him now.

I don't know if I can go to heaven.

As a result of talking to Silfi, Taylor's body was put in a time-stopped storage bag and taken home. Even a guy like this is once the leader of the three largest clans recognized by the state. Because I decided I had to report it to the King.

Well, I suppose the most important thing about this is that Tamer's Ring will be dissolved? Though I think so.

"Well, good luck with that"

Silfi... I'm sure he did it on purpose. Bright, yes. Tell them all.

"Well, may I say that we've pretty much eliminated the threat of this labyrinth? Whatever you say, it's a newborn labyrinth (dungeon), so it's time to get to the bottom level... I think it's highly likely that there was a demon who built a labyrinth (dungeon) on this hierarchy."

Along with that, Aisha returned the answer as well.

"Well, well, what are you going to do with that?

That's what I said, pointing to Pilloce, who was fluffy but passed out.

... Oh yeah! There was something about her.

Xanadu is gone, let's see if we can [cut] slavery first.

Name: Pyrose

LV: 49 + 16

Race: Elves [Dark Fall]

Gender: Female

[Skills]

None

[Protecting the World Tree]

None

Yeah, I could [cut] it for now.

I thought I might be able to [cut] the protection of the world tree.

The question is where to paste the [slave < Xanadu >].

Paste it on a weird thing and it becomes Zanadu's slave.

If I paste something on the ground, will this labyrinth (dungeon) become Zanadu's slave?

That's going to be a pain in the ass, so that's a pass.

Should I stick it on the pebble as usual and throw it away somewhere?

But there's a little bit of anxiety left over just the stuff on it.

... Do you want to try it? I've been thinking about this for a while. I wondered what would happen to the first [cut] thing if I [cut] another thing just after I made the [cut].

Will it be overwritten and disappear, or will it be in two [cut] states?

In the unlikely event that your skills disappear, I will try to select [Always: Power] as an override candidate who can get as much later as possible.

All right, [cut]... and paste it on the pebble again.

The appraisal results... yeah! It was [ALWAYS: POWER]! So [Slave < Xanadu >] just disappeared!

But you have to be careful with this, right? You can't even see it if you overwrite important or valuable skills by mistake.

I think it is the effect of the [Auxiliary Magic/Gradually Healing (Health)] I have pasted, but there is no noticeable trauma, and if I regain consciousness, I will normally be able to have a conversation.

In fact, I'm going to leave it to the relative Sylphi to do one more experiment. [M]

"Well, what are you doing?

"Kicu??

I come away from the pillows and before the falling and lying chimeric carcass.

They seem curious to see what I do to the demons they defeat. [M]

Yes, I'm going to try the [Dead Puppet] I got from Roselier.

When I hear about the Necromancer, it's kind of a bad image, but I think it can be used to buy time and shield in an emergency.

Using [Necromancer recall], it seems that we can usually keep it, so if we get involved in this, we can also strike at it unintentionally?

"Okay, let's try it!

When the [Dead Puppet] is used, the carcass of the chimera in front of you starts to glow violently.

"!? What is it??

Aisha is shouting out in surprise at the sudden.

I heard that voice. Silfi is also looking this way, taking his eyes off the pillows.

"Gao Oo Oo"

With a roar, the chimera rises.

The color of the body, which was white, changes to the purple color of the eyes, which is considerably darker than fluffy.

And when it changed to a color that was almost as good as black, he drowned his head at me.

"... Mr. Mine, what do you mean?

Listen to Aisha's inquiry and explain the skills you took from Roselier.

"Holy shit!? Immediate death skills?... and if he died, he'd be dead like this chimera... oh my god... if he wasn't my husband, he'd be stuffed for real"

You're right, aren't you?

It's really good to have [cut and paste].

... By the way, fluffy ku? Let's stop playing with the chimera as a slide, shall we?
